Hank Williams: I was with red foley

(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we prayI was with Red Foley the night he passed away)We was down in Port Wayne Indiana the night the Lord took Red awayAnd we had to get there a little early cause we had a matineeAnd when Red first went on stage it seemed that he moved and talked a little slowBut of course he went on to do his regular great showSo soon the afternoon show was over with and we all went down the street and ateRed said he wasn't very hungry but he came along anywayAnd we got done eaten and came back to the last showBut the thing just would be Red's very last well who's to knowAnd when he went on the stage for his own ten thousandth timeWe was all back to the curtains there just shootin' the linesBut when he sang Peace In The Valley there was such a quiet stillI know I'll never forget it and anyone that was there never willWell soon the last show was over withAnd I went back to the hotel and Red gave me a callI told him to come on over I was just starin' at the four wallsSo he came over to my room he was just next door thereLit a cigarette and sat down in the chairAnd he started talkin' bout all the worries that a country music singer hasI said old Red I reckon it's not that badHe said yeah you're workin' a lot now and you'll have 'em some dayYour dad had 'em and I have 'em I guess it's just meant that wayThen he got up and these were the last words he saidI'm awful tired now Hank and I've got to go to bedAnd while I layed there with Red just a few steps awayThe angels came and took him into the last golden stage(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we prayI was with Red Foley the night he passed away)
